Number 1 is their fan base understands this is the way of college sports and has completely bought in. Number two is Kiffin. Kids want to play for him. We have rectified point two by hiring Lebby. And we could be in that tier if the same thing would happen in our fan base. Instead, we have people who want to complain that we can't get athletes, but then say they don't want to participate in buying players. We could have just as many $100/month people as they have, but we just don't have the same buy in.
Great points and agree especially on Lane, and our hire of Lebby.
Incredible how the past season we had media and posters on the board trying to sell us how Arnett, running 90's blue collar football, was somehow the way to go forward for our program.
